How to send our treadmill speed sensor data to Home Assistant/InfluxDB? – PETER GAMMA (Director & Physiologist), MEDITATION RESEARCH INSTITUTE SWITZERLAND (MRIS)

Treadmill speed sensors have BLE or ANT+ support. We can use the Adadruit Pyloton, for instance, or the balena Health. With the Adafruit Pyloton, we can send the data over the Adafruit WIFI node sensor bridge to AdafruitIO. With balenaHealth, we can send the data the balena cloud. From there we can send it to the balena Home Assistant. The path is a bit easier, than connect the speed sensor to a Garmin watch, send it over the Microsoft EventHubApp to an EventHub in the Azure cloud and from there to Microsoft PowerBI, and connect there the REST API of Microsoft Power BI to Home Assistant.

But if manufacturers do not offer us easy solutions to access sensor data, as for instance with sports sensor manufacturers, to do it all the same, results in pathways as described above.

Easier is to use simpler pathways with easier modules as decribed here:

Super easy! Add your medical and research grade ECG, PPG, EEG, etc. device for heart rate, respiration rate etc. to an ESP32 Board and to Home Assistant
